The Powell River Regional District has made financial contributions towards an active ‘Bear Aware’ program which has been run by volunteers in Powell River since 2006. For more information on how the program works and on how to prevent bear/human conflict, go to www.bearaware.bc.ca.
Help prevent conflicts between people and bears in our community by keeping your property free of common bear attractants such as garbage, smelly compost, fallen fruit and nuts, barbeques, bird feeders and pet food.
